[DEPRECATED] Free Ecobee Suite, Version 1.2.*

Ok, see below for the ones I’m using:

SmartApps-
Ecobee Connect: 1.2.6
Smart Circulation: 1.2.0
Open Contacts: 1.2.2

Device Handlers-
Ecobee Thermostat: 1.2.9
Ecobee Sensor: 1.2.2

Thanks!

OK, so is your thermostat perhaps in a Hold or a Vacation when you are trying to adjust the temperature?

If so, I may have been over-aggressive in prohibiting changes while in a Hold…for at least certain cases, I guess I should clear the old hold and create a new one…let me look at that.

Meanwhile, if you hit “resume” first, you can then change the setpoints.

UPDATE: Ecobee Thermostat v1.2.10 & Ecobee (Connect) 1.2.7

Changes:

  • Allow changing setpoints and Holds on top of currently running Hold: or Auto programs (resumes current program, then sets a new Hold)
  • Fixed error message in thermostat device

These updated files can be installed on top of the previous version.

It’s definitely not in vacation mode but on the Ecobee itself it’s in a hold. I don’t use the built-in Ecobee programs. In ST in the app it has Hold: Temp and in the settings for hold type and hourly hold it’s the default: Ecobee Connect settings which is hold until I change. I don’t see a setting for the hourly hold. Here’s a screenshot of the thermostat settings in ST:

Get the latest version of Ecobee (Connect) that I just posted - that should solve the problem. Installing the thermostat device is optional - just fixed the error message…

Thank you! For quite awhile now I have had to use the Ecobee app to make slight temperature changes because the slider in ST stopped working for me. I just blamed it on my setup.

Nope - it was my fault. Sorry for the added level of hassle you had to deal with…

No need for an apology! Your Ecobee app has made managing my thermostat and home environment a pleasure.

That fixed it! Working great now. Thanks!

I am also having the problem with Google home being unable to set temperature - I have also enabled smart auto temp as requested. The version I see in GitHub is 1.2.7 - where can I find the 1.2.8 version?

Second question - is it possible to remove / change the “ecothem” text prior to the name of the thermostat?

1.2.7 is the latest release.

You can change the name of the devices to anything you would like in SmartThings using the gear icon.

If you can give me a little more detail about the problem you are having, and the version of both Ecobee (Connect) and the Ecobee Thermostat devices, I will take a look.

HI Barry, the problem I have is exactly the same as Surge919 has - Google Home cannot set temperatures.

I am pulling from Github so:
Connect is 1.2.7
Device handlers:
sensor is 1.2.2
Thermostat is 1.2.10

Please check that the version of the SmatApps and devices are the same as reports when you run the smartapp or click the gear for device settings.

And what specifically is the voice command you are giving to Google? How recently did this problem show up?

(I have to apologize, I don’t use Google - I’m an Alexa user. So anything you can get me from log files - ideally the device logs while you have set the Loggin level to 5 - will help).

Thanks!

I have the 1.2.7 Connect and 1.2.2 DH. I just noticed that my ecobee sensors seem to be stuck at 80+ degrees when reporting to ST, the ecobee app reports much lower temps.

Re-login to the Ecobee servers, and they should get updated correctly.

@storageanarchy I’ve been running your DTH and apps for 8 months or so and just started having a problem with mode changes. I’m using the mode handler and have a home-day mode in ST that is paired with a home-day mode in Ecobee. In Ecobee Connect I have those mapped out as well.

This morning my mode changed to home-day from morning and the sleep mode is stuck on in my thermostat. I tried changing the mode to home-day again but I can’t get out of sleep mode.

Any ideas?

Same suggestion - re-login to Ecobee account from Ecobee (Connect) - even if it says you are already connected. I noticed some glitch yesterday that messed up the states being sent by Ecobee. Logging in again fixed it for me.

Let me know if that doesn’t work.

Thanks!

Perfect. Worked. Thanks.

Hi new user enjoying your ecobee suite 1.2. Main use is the smart circulation handler so far. A suggestion unless I’m missing something. Could you add an option to drive the fan runtime depending on the difference between inside temp vs the outside temp in combination with the rest of your current settings. ie my outdoor temp was 50 last night and almost 80 during the day, Then say today is a high of 67. My inside setting is 77. Would like the program to treat my fan run times differently depending on the inside vs outside temp. Would like to setup one handler if it’s 10 degrees colder outside, one if it’s within 5 and one if it’s say 5 degrees warmer. If there is another way let me know.

Double check that you have copied and saved ALL of the SmartApps and Smart Devices that make up the suite - even if you don’t plan on using them all. Ecobee (Connect) won’t run unless everything exist in your IDE.

Thanks!
Barry
